The 2004 FOCUS WAGON SEMA CONVERSION

This wagon began as an early 2004 Focus SE with the new 2.3L Cosworth Ford Duratec 4 Cylinder aluminum engine. Jeff Biane decided to customize this car for the 2004 SEMA show with the help of Ford and a several sponsors. The purpose was to showcase the Cosworth and Ford SVT parts unique to the Ford Focus. The result is a one of a kind vehicle that could have rolled off the Ford assembly line with specialty parts from SVT and Cosworth.

The wagon was completely disassembled including removing all the glass, doors and interior. The body was painted Competition Orange. A new interior was created with unique seat covering, door, dash and roof panels, and new carpeting. Exterior panels include Focus SVT front fascia with Euro grill. ST 170 SVT headlights light the way. The rear fascia was fabricated from a Focus SVT center panel and extended to fit the wagon. Side rocker panels, trim and doors handles were modified and painted the body color. Ford Euro 17 x 7" Dark Argent SVT wheels were added.

The Cosworth Stage 3 engine upgrade includes the unique Cosworth intake manifold, large tube exhaust header and high lift intake and exhaust cams. The ECU was re-flashed to accept the new breathing capacity of the engine. The 2.5" exhaust has an SVT center exhaust outlet. Dyno tested at 205 HP at the wheels.

The 3.42 final differential gears have been replaced with a 4.06 gears and a Torsen torque biasing differential was installed. An aluminum flywheel and Ford Centerforce clutch were installed with the rebuilt transmission. The chassis has upgraded KW springs, shocks, front struts and large rear anti-roll bar to provide for great handling. BAER Racing 13.5", 4 piston caliper front brakes and SVT Focus rear disks provide the stopping power.

The unique Cosworth NA engine and transmission upgrades far exceed the SVT Focus and has created a unique special vehicle.

This car has trophied at every car show event I have entered. It has never seen snow and looks like new. Modified drive train is still docile on the street. Fast for a 4 banger.

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.

Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
